Skipper

[Steve Maxson]

I photographed this colorful and relatively large skipper in Costa Rica. 1D IV, Canon 70-300mm (at 300mm), tripod, 1/500, f/8, ISO 640. I used NIK software to selectively darken the brighter areas of the background and I applied NR to the background.

Beautiful image Steve. I like the diagonal composition and the inclusion of the sharp end of the grass blade. Exposure and details look spot on. Very well done.

Beautiful butterfly here. Detail is excellent. Very Nice.

That is one sweet specimen. I love the colors and the feathery stuff on the sides of the thorax.

with love, artie

Beautiful processing and presentation Steve. Skippers over here in UK are very drab compared to this beauty.
